Six Words

I'm playing with fire

I can feel its heat

As we both feed it

Higher and higher

I'm afraid of how it might burn me

And how it might burn her

I'm afraid of stoking it too fast

That it burns out

I feel alive

Six words

She wrote to me

The flame burns brighter and hotter

She tells me I might be a phoenix

I'm inclined to believe her

I want to jump in the fire

Feel the inferno consume me

Embrace a rebirth

Spread my wings

Rise from ashes and

Fly away

With her
